JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.1 circle and system of circle

Let \(\mathrm{C}\) be a circle with radius \(\sqrt{10}\) units and centre at the origin. Let the line \(x+y=2\) intersects the circle \(\mathrm{C}\) at the points \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\). Let \(\mathrm{MN}\) be a chord of \(C\) of length \(2\) unit and slope \(-1\) . Then, a distance (in units) between the chord \(PQ\) and the chord \(MN\) is :

  1. A \(2-\sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(3-\sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2}-1\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{2}+1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3-\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{C}: \mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}^2=10 \) \( \mathrm{AN}=\frac{\mathrm{MN}}{2}=1 \) \( \therefore \mathrm{In} \Delta \mathrm{OAN} \rightarrow(\mathrm{ON})^2=(\mathrm{OA})^2+(\mathrm{AN})^2 \) \( 10=(\mathrm{OA})^2+1 \rightarrow \mathrm{OA}=3\) Perpendicular distance of…
